Mehrsheed Sinaki MD, MS

Mehrsheed Sinaki, M.D., studies the effect of muscle strength and exercise on bone mineral density and back pain. Her pertinent research interests are the management of osteoporosis-related musculoskeletal challenges, such as back pain, kyphotic posture, vertebral fracture, age-related gait unsteadiness, and prevention of falls.

She has developed various exercise programs for strengthening back muscles and the reduction of back pain, kyphosis, vertebral fractures, and risk of falls. Rehabilitation of Osteoporosis Program-Exercise (ROPE) includes comprehensive management of osteoporosis.

Dr. Sinaki's research protocols involve the effect of exercise on bone mineral density, muscle response to exercise, critical evaluation of exercise techniques, and effective dose of exercise for improvement of back pain and bone and mineral density. Geriatric musculoskeletal rehabilitation also includes the use of spinal orthotics for the improvement of posture and osteoporosis-related pain.
